Deceased Estate & Will Disputes

Being left out of a Will of person from whom you would have expected to receive a benefit, or having received a gift under a Will which you consider insufficient, is often distressing, but you may have an option to apply to the Court for further provision out of the deceased estate.

At Lynn and Rowland our extensive experience in litigating such disputes in Queensland and New South Wales Courts, enables us to achieve consistently successful outcomes for our clients in this complex area.

Whilst disputes of this nature often generate considerable emotion, such disputes are frequently resolved without the necessity of a Court hearing.

In some cases, the Will of the deceased may not been signed properly or it has been signed or executed by the deceased at the time when there are doubts as to whether the deceased had the mental capacity to do so.

If you are an executor of a Will who has been approached by a potential beneficiary to indicate that they are going to make a claim, we will be able to advise you and defend the proceedings on your behalf, or if you are an executor of a Will who also wishes to make a claim against the estate we can advise of the process to be followed.

We can also assist you with the application in relation to Probate (see our Wills, Probates and Estates) and any other enquiries you have regarding your duties as an executor, contact us today for a no obligation discussion.
